Last combat patrol ends for Vietnam era grunts
U S grunts finish final perimeter patrol near Long Binh Army Base as draftees and career soldiers reflect on duty and a peacetime Army. Capt. Wayne Morgan, Spec. 4 Richard McDonald, and Pfc. Ford Erickson voice mixed emotions about leaving Vietnam and the future of the Army. The 34 1 2 hour patrol passed through buffalo grass and vines, with helicopters overhead and a sense that a long war has shifted into memory.
